Return to Squint

Once you return to Squint with the Mold Artifact, you have another option to turn it in or keep the artifact for yourself. You can hand over the artifact to get the Ward Sensors to complete the side quest.

If you choose the latter, Squint will become hostile and you will need to kill him to loot the Ward Sensors from his body.

If you want to skip the side quest entirely, you can choose the [Attack] dialogue option and kill him to loot the Ward Sensors. Afterwards, you can still choose to get the artifact for yourself. Additionally, you can still give the Ward Sensors to either Richter or Capt. Zotov. There is no lasting consequence to killing Squint.
